Freya-ing

And we are picking Freya up later and she is staying here tonight!!!

And she came back here then, we had veggie sausages, potato croquettes, garlic and... stuffed mushrooms for dinner with an ice cream on a stick for pudding

Aardvarking

What fun I had today. The only event of note was nipping to Aardvark to buy loadsa food. Not as much as last week as I need to eat my wat into the freezer a bit

OK after Aardvarking I nipped to Morrison's too to get a little summat

Daceys

So we nipped to Daceys, east of Cardiff, today. They were good, looked at my splint and gave me (well sold me) a different one and looked at my Bioness machine and altered it loads

(sent from my phone)

Slagging

So we r going off in a bit to the 'splint makers' to say "Yes, please" for my Bioness machine and ask him for a different splint as the one he gave me last time is cutting into my leg

'Puter Crisis

Gosh. So s'morning I hadn't changed owt but my PC was saying "enter password" for email. Oh dear, I have a record of most passwords but not that one. I guessed, guessed again differently etc until it said "Sod off, too many guesses".

Luckily Timmy came in here with his laptop, logged into my account and was able to change the password without guessing, then he told me

So I now have a note of my email password too

Jimming Again

So I have nothing written in my timetable for today apart from Gym. Hoo-flipping-ray. So we well go off there in a few minutes

And oh what fun we had. I took my walking stick today as I seem better using it but it meant that I didn't sit in my wheelchair for an hour

Blown bulb

So as I was going to bed I was in the bathroom the light lit up on the toothbrush that said "Battery" so I walked back into the living room to change it. I switched the light switch on, there was a bang, a sound of breaking glass and the light didn't come on

Pubbing. On my own two feet

And I managed to walk all the way from my house to the pub that's a quarter of a mile up hill.

I walked with walking stick, it seems to improve so much

Shopping. On my own two feet

Then afterwards we nipped shopping, I stood up, got in my wheelchair until I was in the shop, walked all the way to the back of the shop, all the way forwards, paid, walked back to the car, walked from the car into the house. All on my own two feet

And I notice, in all the photo's of shopping my right hand/arm is properly straight

When I'm Cleaning Windows....

Well not me but my MOS produced a bottle of Industrial Strength window cleaner from somewhere and what can I say, all the streaks on my windows which I thought were scratches seem to have gone now, just WOW.

OK he had to do the cleaning but still...

What an afternoon

Good lord

Shhh

Hooray

Changed my bed, next we are off to Jim.... :)

Which went well. The new class seem to be accepting me as a "mouthy chap" and all goes well. I am able to show off walking in my Bioness

More Reasons To Shop At....

Then after lunch, when I finished my salad we are going off to get some more and a few other things.

But no blueberries this week

A few other things including some more "mini choc ice on a sticks" and some toffee ice cream cones

Rugger

And we went to the pub about half past two and didn't leave until half way thru the third match some hours later. Firstly Ireland got beat which upset me a bit but then in the next match Wales played England and trounced them by nearly 20 points, an effective victory.

Ed had some of the freeby sausage and mash so I only had to pay for one dinner

He's back

And Ed is back today(1) so I am having to get used to looking up to his eyes, unlike the rest of 'my team'

(1) From the first part of his nurses training

Aardvarking

Then we nipped to Aardvark early and spent far too much on org. tofu and org. apple juice and so on. I went into the shop sitting in my 'chair to give me a chance to browse the shelves slowly and I got everything on my list and some more

Physioing

So this morning the Sara the Physio came to see me, and as we couldn't go out to walk in the rain just did loadsaa checks on my Bioness tool and my splint, and agreed to put next Thursdays patients on hold and come to Daceys with me

Freya

Then later we went to pick up Freya from school. She worked hard on her O-levels the whole time she was here apart from when we were eating dinner

For dinner tonight we had some of the pasta in spicy and tomatoey sauce that I had made t'other week for my parents dinner but it turns out that Mum was allergic to one or two of the ingredients. We weren't sure if it would freeze well, with the pasta in it etc but it was actually rather delicious, according to Freya, Paul and me

Wales Fan

And eventually we found a Wales supporter hat in town even tho I am pulling a face in this photo

Nowt On All Day

So me and Paul nipped into Morrisons where I bought more salad and 2 more packets of pre prepared potatoes.
